Galaxy Alpha: What is the Smart Pause™ feature on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha?
Smart Pause™
The Smart Pause feature uses the front camera to sense when you are looking at your device and pauses video playback when you look away from the screen.
Turning On Smart Pause:
.2. Touch Settings
.3. Touch Motions and gestures
.4. Touch Mute/pause.
5. Touch the slider
to turn Mute/pause on 
. 6. Mark the Smart pause checkbox to turn on the feature.
Smart Pause works best when:
• The device is held steady and upright.
• The front-facing camera is not being used by another application.
• The device is in well-lit conditions, but the screen is not in direct light.
• You are not connected to an external video device using the AllShare® Cast Wireless Hub or an HDMI® cable.
NOTE: Smart Pause will be unable to pause if you are using a downloaded video player, a pop-up player, or Multi Window™.
